Basics

As you delve into Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, you'll likely find it to be a more complex game than is immediately evident.

It's possible to make some good progress in the game without really knowing what you're doing, but eventually you'll come to a roadblock. The result can be frustration until you figure out what you're doing wrong.

This section of the guide is designed to let you know what you might do wrong before you even do it and to give you some information on best practices.

We recommend reading through it before you get too far into the game, and we also encourage you to read through the instruction manual. Doing so can save you a lot of potential frustration down the road, particularly if you're new to the series.
